This document discusses how to become an expert on Microsoft Azure cloud services. It outlines the Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE) certification which requires passing three Azure exams. It provides details on the 70-532, 70-533, and 70-535 exams and lists topics covered in each. Additionally, it lists key Azure services and technologies to build knowledge in like compute, storage, databases and provides example differences between services. Recommendations are made to build a study plan, practice tests, and leverage online resources from Microsoft and others to effectively prepare to become an Azure expert.
